the key joining us from chicago. good morning. -- vicky joining us from chicago. caller: i am a veteran. one of the things that gets me is i do not blame the republicans, the democrats, or the independence, a prim everyone in washington who has allowed a climate from incompetency and climate of an activity to persist. in one of the reasons why i call this morning was we as citizens have to do our part. if you see a fight, and you know in your heart there are people that are being hired and not legally in this country, you have a duty and responsibility to report that to the department of immigration. i think that one of the things we need to do in this country as individuals is to encourage wherever we can positive things that are going on, and not focus so much upon the negatives. we need to have faith in our government, no matter who was in the white house, but we also need to have base in each other, and i think if we cannot do that, we as a country will fail, and we as citizens will fail ourselves. thank you. host: randy joining us from las vegas on the democr
